Loved all the pinball machines, was ready to pitch in and get some up and running but only had limited time. The owner was a good communicator and even upgraded my room to a larger one. The neighborhood was convenient, with plenty of parking, able to use the fridge, freezer, and microwave for my meals as well. Will definitely come back.

It was skeptical at first. I didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into, then I met who also was staying there, it was not all that bad. I had a good time. We were not there as much. Pinball is great if you know how to play. Thank you.

We had a great experience staying at Pinball Pete’s place. Very clean, cozy, comfortable, with use of the kitchen and some food provided … and, of course, pinball! Our host also went above and beyond in helping us to resolve an unexpected issue. Hoping to stay there again in the future.
